CRP/FSE/AGMB Training

This formation trades decreased force ratio at the point of contact for increased security. Used by the Soviet-style Motorized Rifle Regiment (MRR) when the Blue situation is unknown (failure of enemy recon to penetrate the security of a blue defense) or variable (Blue moving). When Blue defends, a good BDA of enemy recon helps predict whether the enemy will be forced to adopt this formation. A). Combat Reconnaissance Patrol(s)(1-3) 3 X BMP, Sometimes with tanks! Task: Provide intel to the FSE. When necessary attack forces blocking its route and disrupt blue momentum. Purpose: Allow the FSE time to maneuver to fix blue forces. B). Forward Security Element 3 X T80, 10 X BMP, 3 X BRDM AT5, 8 X 120mm Mort, 6 X 2S1 Task: Fix the lead blue company. If blue defends, fix the blue flank platoon and breach. Purpose: Allow AGMB time to maneuver and destroy or bypass blue forces. C). Advance Guard Main Body 7 X T80, 21 X BMP, 12 X 2S1, 3 X BRDM AT5, 2 X MT12 or 2A45M (This also applies to Forward Detachments, which possess greater independence.) Task: Complete destruction of lead blue CO/TM and fix or destroy the lead blue TF. If blue defends, exploit penetration of FSE to complete penetration or destruction of the blue CO/TM. Purpose: Ensure uninterrupted advance of the MRR main body, overcoming blue security/recon forces and obstacles. This is an extremely flexible formation! Once the Recon locates Blue forces in zone, the CRPs decide whether to engage or bypass. The FSE follows close behind... and can exploit CRP success, envelop and destroy a company the CRP has fixed, or select another avenue of approach altogether and aim for either a clear route to the rear or try to pin the nearest Blue Battalion. The AGMB preserves the same options! It might finish off the company the FSE mauled, but more likely it will bypass and try to flank and destroy the Blue Battalion the FSE is currently engaging. Both these organizations are more than happy to sacrifice themselves in order to ena
